Hey there, Survivors!
Good news everyone! The issues that resulted in crashes during solo play are fixed with this update! We're continuing our work on improving and bettering the game - and hoping you'll enjoy it more and more with every patch!
Another important note: Due to a lot of negative feedback surrounding the game's Matchmaking system, we've decided to include the following changes with this update- "Find Servers" option is now disabled.

Other issues fixed in this update:
Fixed an issue in which players sometimes were kicked out to the main menu while playing solo
Fixed an issue in which Factory Pickaxe was not able to mine Crystals

1 DAY LEFT - VAPOR-3 Reports
Greetings, Survivors!
An unnamed whistleblower recently provided us with several documents, leaked directly from VAPOR-3 servers. Among these files, some were particularly intriguing…
Report File #001
Coordinates: 64.2005° N, 149.4937° W
Object: U.S. Navy Submarine SSN-792 “Vermont”
Point Of Origin: 8.7832° S, 124.5085° W
Report:
The “Vermont” was found during area survey by researchers ████████████████ and ████████████████████████████████ . This report is a transcription of their spoken word re-telling of the encounter with the “Vermont”.
“We were patrolling through the woods - looking for the any evidence of Dark Matter , which began showing up more and more after the ████████████████ .
We initially thought that it was another part of the Kennicott Mining Facility, since the mines were scattered all over the area after the ████████ ████████ event.
However, upon closer inspection it turned out to be the hull of a submarine. How did it get there? It almost looks like it was just transported from somewhere - and just stuck into the middle of the land. Like a teleporter accident, where a guy gets stuck in the wall - like in one of those sci-fi movies, you know?...
We circled it a bunch of times before we found any markings on the hull - and after we found out the ship’s name, we immediately reported it to Mann. After a few minutes, word came back from the ████████ facility that there was a submarine that went by that name and number. In fact - there was a SSN-792 “Vermont” out in the Atlantic Ocean at the time, with its crew completely intact.
Soon as we heard it, a deafening thud shook both me and ████████ - and it sounded like multiple people, banging against the hull. Were those people, in fact, people or not - I don’t know. We ran off as fast as we could… Whoever could help the crew - it wasn’t gonna be us.”
Report File #002
Coordinates: 64.2013° N, 149.832° W
Object: Kennicott Mining Camp
Point Of Origin: Kennicott, Alaska
Report:
This bears many similarities to the “Vermont” Case:
This structure, originally found in the center of Kennicott, Alaska , has appeared in the vicinity of VAPOR-3 ████████ Facility
The structure appears to be a ██████ copy of the actual place - as the original in Kennicott is still intact.
The structure has undertaken heavy internal damage, with many of its interior destroyed.
Heavy Dark Matter readings near both structures.
However, what is different this time is this - the “Vermont” had the entire crew inside. The building itself is completely empty. In fact, not a single trace of human remains were found in the building.
Some of our researchers reported sounds of footsteps and howling-like sounds - but no evidence supporting any kind of creature being inside the facility was found.
Will continue to investigate.
====
Report File #003
Coordinates: 64.2013° N, 149.832° W
Object: ████████████████ Dimension Portal
Point Of Origin: ████████
Report:
This picture, along with the polaroid camera it was taken with, was found on ██████ grounds - along with other seemingly random items, scattered around the area. Some of the items closely resemble the ones pictured in the photo - especially the object itself, broken into pieces all around the area.
Near the camera was an Anchorage Aces hoodie, a pair of ███████ jeans and ███ shoes. Presumably, these items belonged to the owner of the camera - however, there was no trace of the owner himself. More than that, there were no footprints, or any markings that could’ve indicated a person being anywhere near the area.
The VAPOR-3 ████████ Researcher’s current theory is that the owner experienced ███████████ vortex - however, how did he, along with ████████, got there is currently unknown. Some speculate that he went hrough to the █████ portal - and that the reason these have been appearing more directly coincides with ████████ increased activity near the Dark Matter core.
Of course, all of this still remains nothing more than speculation.
So, what other mysteries might await the survivors in Act 2 on their way out of the seemingly-normal Alaskan forest?...
Find out tomorrow, as The WIld EIght launches on October 3rd, at 9PM Pacific Time! =======
